[Nix-dev] GCC fails to compile on a scaleway arm server

[Théophane Hufschmitt]

Hi, nix users.

I am trying to bootstrap nixos on a scaleway dedicaced arm server 
().

I managed to install nix without problem, but fail to compile GCC.
I've attached the log file (it's rather big, I suppose the interesting part is 
"/tmp/nix-build-gcc-4.9.3.drv-4/build/armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/libsanitizer/libtool:
 line 8070:  4405 Illegal instruction" at the end of the file, but couldn't 
find the cause for it) and my config.nix (the values for gcc are taken from the 
gcc in the debian image I'm running, so I assume they are good).

Has anyone an idea of the problem ?

Here is the default.nix... (The log is at )

I'd be happy to help, as I think I can use the experience to figure out
archiving build
sources ().
Ideally we can find a way to not only allow a user to populate a Nix store on
their machine with all sources for a given nixpkgs checkout but also to ship
the sources of all successful hydra builds to some long-term storage.

It would be interesting to also measure/project the storage required to
archive all builds produced by hydra across time.

Re: [Nix-dev] Virtualbox on Nixos15.09, Error: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

[rohit yadav]

After loading the vboxdrv manually, it moves forward but complains as
follows:
"An uknown group has write access to '/nix' and we therefore cannot trust
the directory content or that of any subdirectory
(VERR_SUPLIB_WRITE_NON_SYS_GROUP)"

Do I need to manually change the group of /nix directory to root?

Changing the permission of of '/nix' by 'chmod g-w' solves the​ issue. Is
it a right solution?

[Nix-dev] Virtualbox on Nixos15.09, Error: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

[rohit yadav]

Hi,

I am trying to run vagrant on NixOS with Virtualbox. I receive the above
mentioned error when launching any machine with Virtualbox. On ubuntu it is
fixed by dkms and vboxdrv module.

Thanks,
Rohit
